Experience and Commitment

Horizon
was founded in 1997 by a father-and-son team who bring to our projects
more than 50 years combined experience in ship design, construction,
operation, maintenance and repair. This broad-based experience has
facilitated the design of vessels that are crew-friendly and easy to
operate and maintain. Horizon's guiding principles are based on the
belief that satisfied customers are the best advertisement, and this
philosophy has been proven true by the many expressions of satisfaction
from Horizon's customers over the past years. Our entire management
team and crew are committed to the continuation of these principles,
which continue to provide the foundation for the production of quality
vessels for the United States and world markets.

Location and Accessibility

The shipyard is located on an 18' dredged inlet off Mississippi Sound
and the Intercoastal Waterway and is adjacent to Mobile Bay and the
Gulf of Mexico. Easily accessible by water, Bayou La Batre is located
approximately 30 miles south of Mobile, which is served by a regional
airport, heavy shipping (Alabama State Docks), and rail (Amtrak and
CSX). Exit 10 from Interstate 10 provides easy road access, as does U.
S. Highway 90, and "the Bayou" is located directly on AL Route 188.
These air, sea, and land transportation links coupled with an extremely
moderate climate make Horizon highly accessible throughout the year.
This situation readily facilitates rapid materials acquisition and
resupply and, coupled with a good skilled labor supply, Horizon is
able, if necessary, to offer round-the-clock and round-the-calendar
production efforts.
